Yeah, ok.

It appears that Bruno, Eric, and Corinna went off on a long discussion
concerning different approaches to dealing with 16bit wchar_t.
Subsequently, a bunch of new functions have been added to gnulib, and a
new type (wwchar_t); my assumption is future libiconv will use these new
functions and type on cygwin...

But (a) I don't want to wait for libiconv-1.14, and (b) I don't want to
integrate that new gnulib stuff into libiconv-1.13.1 myself, so...

We'll pretty much go with what we have, re: libiconv-1.13.1 on cygwin.
There was another issue, related to how Bruno's relocation code is
implemented on cygwin. Bruno adopted a slightly different patch (into
gnulib) but obviously that hasn't trickled down to libiconv yet either.

...Now this, I could probably integrate into libiconv-1.13.1-3 instead
of the -2 version of the patch.  But, there's no real rush, as I don't
build cygwin's libiconv with relocation turned on anyway.

So...I'll remove the test designation ASAP.
